Death of Jacqueline Wright

Jacqueline "Jackie" Marva Cook Wright was born Oct. 1, 1935, in Dayton, Ohio, to Rev. Charles and Elizabeth Cook. Raised in the Baptist church—her father as pastor and her mother as organist—Jackie grew up surrounded by faith and music. From a young age, her soulful voice touched hearts, carrying her across the country and around the world.

...

While music was central to her life, Jackie's greatest joy was her family. She and her husband Walter raised four children while she supported his more than 40 years of ministry. Jackie also built a career as an administrative assistant at Kettering College of Medical Arts, the Southwest Union and Andrews University. Through every role-wife, mother, professional, singer—Jackie lived with grace, strength and unwavering faith.

...

She is survived by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren and extended family who cherish her legacy of love and faith. Jackie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Elder Walter L. Wright Sr., her parents, sister Yvonne, and niece Sharon. Jackie trusted God's promises and lived in hope of reunion with her loved ones. Today, she is finally "home at last."
